BACKGROUND:
Inspired by AFL superstar Shane Crawford’s ride to Perth – to fundraise for BCNA – Ride for Hayley is in honour of Bakers Delight franchisee Hayley Fyfield, who passed from breast cancer in March 2024. It sees a virtual bike ride from Robina in Queensland to Hampton in Victoria and back. The total target will be 3426kms. People can participate and raise money for BCNA by doing a 10km ride and donating $10, then challenging 10 friends to do the same. People can do their kilometres in person at the Robina Town Centre or sign up to virtually ride 10km anywhere in the country. It has been organised by Bakers Delight's Queensland team to honour their beloved colleague’s memory while raising money for BCNA during its annual Pink Bun fundraising campaign.
